Did you know that the Vatican sent to this Cocktail Party of Antichrist a Papal Tiara Given to Pope Pius IX by Queen Isabella II of Spain? But I am sure we will have a summer of protests by the Catholics of New York over this Sacrilege.......right? Wait Until Andrew Bolton brings "his" "exhibition" out to North Idaho!

See the Promotional Video by clicking the link below and then read the article by Maike Hickson, on One Peter 5, in which she calls out the Vatican Planners of the Devil's Cocktail Party. In that article, Dr. Hickson mentions the reporting of RadTrad Thomist!

Our readers are by now well informed about the many scandalous – and also blasphemous – dresses and gestures displayed at last Monday’s the “Met Gala” in partial preparation for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” exposition that was officially opened on 10 May. Our readers might also be by now well aware of Cardinal Dolan’s own shameful conduct by his joining into this scandalous event and later even defending it.

What people might be less aware of is that the Vatican, though unofficially, now claims not to have anticipated the effects of the the Met Gala which accompanies the opening of their new exhibition. This fact has been reported by the indefatigable Rome Correspondent Edward Pentin. He now writes, as follows:

The Pontifical Council for Culture chose to collaborate with an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York because of the Met’s significance to culture and potential global outreach, but officials were unaware of the widely criticized gala that took place on Monday night.

As Pentin continues his report, he quotes an official of the responsible Pontifical Council for Culture, whose President – Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi – had made first the decision to participate in the exhibition:

“We wanted to be involved and those behind it had good intentions,” a Vatican official told the Register. “As the Met is one of the most significant cultural institutions in the world, and our remit is to engage the world, we see it as important.”

But the Vatican was unaware of the Met Gala, and that the evening event would be used by some celebrities to dress up in a way deemed by many to be a sacrilegious mockery of the Church.

In the following, I shall challenge that specious claim.

That is to say, the claim that only the Met Gala itself was potentially hazardous, and not the fashion exhibition itself. Since all the attention was drawn to the Met Gala, it might be worthwhile to concentrate on the content of the exhibition itself.

When I first reported on that exhibition a few weeks ago, I was stunned by the fact that among the fashion items that were to be exhibited alongside of more than 40 sacred vestments and other sacred items from the Sistine Chapel, there was to be found a clothing-fashion for a female pope. At the time, few wanted to pay any further attention to it, and so it did not even find any mentioning in my report on it. Only a former student of my husband’s, Dr. Peter Chojnowski, picked up on my own private e-mail report on it and himself displayed that particular clothing in a post on his own blog.

However, what I was able to show in my initial report is that the exhibition also shows the clothing for a female cardinal, a female bishop, and a female priest. Any Vatican representative with a sensus Catholicus would have already early on terminated any collaboration with this exhibition. There was no need to wait for the Met Gala.

I ask our readers to watch just these two minutes on the exhibition’s promotional video in order to get a sense of what the exhibition itself is about. Forget about Rihanna showing up as a female pope at the Met Gala, and, rather, look at this video and look at a clothing which – though it had been at the time only worn by male fashion models – clearly looks like the clothing of a female pope. Other items to be displayed also show a partly transparent dress depicting the Fall of Adam and Eve.

Cardinal Ravasi, when challenged in April upon his decision to send Vatican items to New York, defended his decision and insisted upon the fact that fashion today is a form of communication. He obviously was not troubled by the fashion designs that would be exposed at the same exhibition to which he was sending sacred vestments themselves. At the time, however, the museums’ curator Andrew Bolton himself admitted that this fashion exhibition was meant to be a “provocation.”

Thus, we reasonably have to conclude that the Vatican has effectively lost a moral and cultural compass and that it needed a shocking event such as the Met Gala event in order to feel some belated embarrassment for their participation – and for their lending even such sacred items as a papal tiara, the one given to Pius IX by Queen Isabella II of Spain!

But we need to pay attention. It seems that now some journalists sophistically try to involve unexpected senior people at the Vatican in the shameful story, although they have not been decisively involved at all. The New York Times‘ Rome Correspondent, Jason Horowitz, is one such journalist. In his report on the exhibition, he highlights the purported role of Archbishop Georg Gänswein, whom some might well like to see compromised in one form or another. The personal secretary of Pope emeritus Benedict XVI is said to have been “enthusiastic” about the project after being presented with the idea of such an exhibition. “Then things really started rolling,” Horowitz adds.

Well-informed sources in the Vatican, however, now say that Gänswein played a very small, if not insignificant role in the matter of the exhibition. Also Msgr. Guido Marini – mentioned by Mr. Horowitz as well – should not be implicated himself in this troubling event, so the sources tell us. Some observers speak in this context of a “staged provocation” and “planned scandal.”

It is Cardinal Ravasi – and surely with him Pope Francis himself – who made the decision to open the Church’s treasures to the world of fashion, and even then hand them over to the world and the mockers of Catholic things. As with so many tenets of our beloved faith, we now can see what some of the sordid consequences are of such an act.

We should not be very surprised, however, that Ravasi would so closely work with an exhibition which had been heavily funded by the fashion company Versace, whose founder is an LGBT icon. In 2013, Ravasi – who has been an advocate for Vatican dialogue with Freemasonry – caused a stir when he tweeted a quote from musician, Lou Reed, who had been known for his bisexuality. He also publicly praised another LGBT icon, Davie Bowie.

God help us. I have seen some crazy V2 crap before but this takes the cake. Psst - the poofs are in charge. Get it? BTW the initial visual of the video you linked is of a bejeweled buttocks, with a lovely golden chain right down the crevice. It appears to be the rear of a female but it has become increasingly difficult to tell for sure at this point in time.

I want to comment soon on the various statements that Michael Matt has made on the "situation" of the "crisis." However, before than we cannot let pass the just released statement by the SSPX on the apostasy of Francis at Abu Dhabi in which he signed a document which states that God willed the diversity of religions. Since this is a denial of the very essence of the Christian faith insofar as he is rejecting the whole purpose of the Church and the very idea of a unique Divine Revelation, originating with the preaching of the Incarnate Word and complemented by the revelation given to the Apostles by the Holy Ghost, I would argue that this is an act of apostasy. This act and such state…

In other words, Francis told el-Tayeb what he wanted to hear, and then told Bishop Schneider what he wanted to hear. He thus created space for plausible deniability for both parties. This is behavior befitting a politician, not the Vicar of Christ, charged with confirming his brethren in the Faith. But after six years of this sort of thing, can we expect anything else? When Francis refused to answer the dubia of the Four Cardinals or the Filial Correction submitted to him by Fr. Hunwicke and many others, his silence in the face of attempted correction indicated, Fr. Hunwicke argues, that the Petrine Ministry had “entered into its current ‘temporary suspense’” and that “we are officially in a period in which the functions of the Papal Magisterium are in a vacatio which will be ended at the moment when the same Petrine Magisterial organ formally returns from dogmatic silence to the audible exercise of the functions rightly attributed to it in Catholic Tradition…” It ought to be obvious …

Dr. Chojnowski: I am still waiting for the document entitled "A Document on Human Fraternity For World Peace and Living Together" to have some real effect upon the "traditional world." Surely, it was a time for "profound reflection." A reflection that would be a summary of all the long train of outrages to the Catholic Religion which have hit Catholics since October 28, 1958. Can it be true that we get a document which is intended to be published throughout the world and used as a constant source of academic and religious instruction, which rejects the fundamental understanding of the Catholic Church for 2,000 years, without it SIGNIFICANTLY changing or at least cementing in place our understanding of where we stand in this "crisis"? What we have with the document "On Human Fraternity" is a PUBLIC ACT OF APOSTASY. …

Lest we confuse when we sling the accusation of "Gallicanism" at those who continue to try to change the Church and the Faith in response to Francis and his abominations, we should define what we mean. Rather we will let Michael Miller, whose "Notes on Church History in France," were published in Dom Prosper Gueranger's book against Gallicanism, entitled, The Papal Monarchy, present the basic definition for us: "'Gallicanism' is a group of religious opinions which for some time was peculiar to the Church in France and the theological schools of that country. This view of the Church tended to restrict the authority of the pope, while extending the competence of the bishops and the temporal ruler."

"Gallican theory acknowledged papal primacy, but claimed that it was limited by the power of princes, by the authority of a general (ecumenical council), by the authority of the bishops, and by the canons and customs of local churches. According t…

Earlier today, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin told journalists, including Zenit’s Deborah Lubov, that the importance of this day is dialogue among religions, especially Christianity and Islam, promoting peace and combatting fundamentalism.

Dr. Chojnowski: Have you wondered yet who are these "fundamentalists" who are the main source of evil in our world, the evil ones who are keeping the world from realizing a utopian existence of equality, fraternity, gender equity, and dialogue? I would bet that every one who is now reading this website would be fit into that category by not only the ridiculous women pictured above but by Francis the Apostate and his Imam "fellow believer." What is important here is how "official" it all is. The above statement about "dialogue among religions&…

Faced with the uncomfortable and politically unacceptable reality that there exists no evidence that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon, confirmed by his own intelligence community, President Obama has taken a page from the book of his predecessors FDR, LBJ, GWB, and so on: he simply made something really scary-sounding up to justify his push toward war.

It is 2002 all over again, but worse. This time it is the artificially manufactured hype around an Iranian uranium enrichment facility that is under construction. Keep in mind that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Iran, under Article IV of said treaty, has every right to enrich uranium to its heart’s content. The treaty clearly states: “Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity w…
